It's Good to Feel Good
About this episode
Rev. Gretchen discusses the importance of pleasure and community in maintaining our humanity during difficult times.
In hard times, pleasure is not frivolous. It is one of the ways we stay human. When the world is frightening, exhausting, or cruel, we can become cut off from our bodies, from joy, from appetite, from play, from beauty, from one another. We can start living only in vigilance, productivity, grief, or survival mode. Rev. Gretchen shares how she had to personally remind herself of this after an especially difficult week, and how important and meaningful it is to lean on one another to retain our humanity, especially when doing so doesn't feel possible.
